『潘佩珠年表』를 통해 본 근대초기同文世界의 一斷面

Abstract

This paper treats of Phan Boi Chau’s autobiography in classical Chinese, A Chronology of Phan Boi Chau who was a famous independence activist in Vietnam. It is the first time to introduce autobiography of Phan Boi Chau in the academic world of Korea. Moreover, by examining this book we can understand the aspect of modern times' classical Chinese literature in East Asia. In this paper, I took a closer look at how writing in classical Chinese which was generally thought that it had disappeared with the beginning of the modern era was reproduced in the modern Vietnam. Furthermore, I inspected minutely how East Asian intellectuals communicated each other by means of writing in classical Chinese at that time. All of these materials indicate that the same script area which was communicated by one script 'classical Chinese' lasted until early 20th century. Drawing on A Chronology of Phan Boi Chau, we can perceive that Phan Boi Chau changed his thought for himself by interacting with various kinds of Asian intellectuals. At first, he based on 'the theory of the same script and the same race' for the sake of achieving independence from France. Then subsequently he realized the necessity of 'a democratic republican form of government' and 'cosmopolitanism'. Coupled with this fact, it would be saidthat the same script area was closely related with formation of modern East Asia.
